Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The customer¿s report that the epidural tubing leaked was confirmed.The sets were visually inspected for obvious damage such as incomplete bonding engagements, cracks, fractures, kinks, holes, and tears in the tubing and its components.A residual clear, colorless liquid was present within the set.No anomalies or evidence of damages were observed upon initial visual inspection.The leak occurred at the engagement between the microbore tubing and the male luer adapter.Further observation under microscope revealed some solvent anomalies that seemed more evident along the area of the yellow stripe of the microbore tubing.Functional testing was performed; small droplets were observed at the engagement between the tubing and the inlet port of the male luer.The set was then pressure tested; a leak at the engagement between the tubing to the distal male luer adapter was observed.The root cause that the epidural tubing leaked was a manufacturing issue.
